This bullshit project from Herts County Council isn’t about connectivity: it’s about cost cutting. This crap needs to be challenged. “Trackless trams” are not trams: they’re BUSES. Bouncing bendy buses stuck halfway in traffic; and take away tracks & you take away fixed links.

Paris, 2026.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The image is AI-generated and does not depict real events in Paris in 2026 (real student protests with water cannons occurred but included no Pink Panther).

New addition to the Lime bike family: a 10 mph speed limiter when you enter parks/shared paths. It's that easy
Ideally, all car manufacturers should be required to install this. It would save thousands of lives, but the collective hissy fit/war on motorists would be unbearable

Amusing how many seem to think the proposed Peckham Rye station upgrade is "just lifts".
It's a tad more than that. It's a massive rebuild and extension including a new entrance and exit to ease overcrowding. Currently there's one small area for those exiting and arriving.

I think it’s cute that all nigel Farage employees are finding themselves in a depiction of a story of a takeover by the French using European money

This article is from August 2018, when I started going on about level boarding publicly. We did it, folks. You CAN make things better - don't let anyone tell you otherwise:
ALT an article where Gareth decries mistakes made in the design of accessible trains and platforms on Crossrail, and refers to low floor trains and standard platforms as he's then been banging on about for nearly a decade now
As I said in my speech at conference, a train without level boarding is a job you can't take.
All new Great British Railways trains will be level boarding, as standard.
We’re building a railway that everyone can rely on.

Every Mayor of London: "we don't want to expand Heathrow".

'pro-growth' Twitter: "WHY DOES ANDY BURNHAM HATE LONDON SO MUCH!!! ANDY BURNHAM NEEDS TO BACK LONDON AND BE PRO-LONDON BY OVERRULLING ITS MAYORS!!!"

‘I don't see why Bristol shouldn't be able to aspire to a tram system similar to the one that we have in Manchester,’ Andy Burnham said. ‘You could start obviously with the new arena, connecting the new arena to the train station and the city centre,’
